The Angels announced the deal Monday. Analysis: The 34-year-old Victorino is a two-time World Series champion, a two-time All-Star and a four-time Gold Glove winner. He has spent the past three years in Boston, batting .245 in just 33 games this season with two stints on the disabled list. He broke down in tears in a press conference after Boston's 10-8 loss to the ChiSox on Monday in an emotional moment.
